First Day in the Third Grade!

School has begun! For reasons I don't think I need to explain, this summer has flown by. I don't feel ready for school to be starting already, and needless to say, Grant doesn't either. He was very happy to see all of his friends, and he even has four new kids in his class. This year, parents aren't supposed to walk their kids to class and help them get situated, so they can develop independence. Tim says that I have to cut the apron strings and let him go on his own :( Well, third grade, here we come, ready or not!

The Many Faces of Grant and Mason!

They say a picture is worth a thousand words!

Brotherly Love

Grant has wanted a baby brother for many years now. He has patiently waited, prayed, asked Santa, asked the Easter Bunny, and asked for one for his birthday. Now that Mason is here, Grant can't get enough of him! He is such a huge helper, and does anything I ask except change diapers! One day in Meijer, he looked at me as he pushed Mason in the cart and stated, "Life is so much better with Mason!" Well, after I stopped blubbering about what a tender heart he has, I realized once again, how much our family has been blessed, and how God's timing is so perfect! I am so grateful for all three of my "boys" and how they make my life so great!
